View Full Version : Past experiences/good moments/memories you have of P2P
Well,it all began when I listened first time in my life to Electronic Music (including old school techno,electro house & for sure Trance) that this is my life time music that I will listen to foreva !! didnt know what to download,where to download from nor what to exactly listen to !!! :stupid: anyway,as I always said to myself "Google Is Your Friend" :biggrin: and it was a real good friend,the first forum that I visited ever was called "tranceaddict" which was & still a famous community for good new talents so I started from there listening to random personal mixes & shitty home-made music but it was like "WTF am I doing ??" :icon_angry[1]: so I started searching deeper & spending more & more time catching good sites & sourced for downloading fine electronic music using p2ps (used ares for a while too :biggrin:),torrents & direct links & so on.....Then untill I found a nice forum where a large number of people are sharing new DVD movies which were hard to get by then !! Anyway,it was a long long journey of searching & jumping through multiple web pages till I got the skill to find what I want now (not all especially in PC stuff/errors/bugs/mods) !! :top:
Love This Spot !! :rolling_eyes:

Looks like you have nothing useful to say, by the way. :unsure:
It's off topic. What is constructive here? :huh:

The bold words are not similar, at least according to anon's dictionary.
I gave up on ed2k network in 2003 because the speed was so low (I had a 300sthng kbps modem) and I was mainly looking for games. At that time I didn't know what to do with the cue/bin files! so I just forgot about the whole thing. I bought some of the stuff I need and kept looking for direct links to get them. I moved to bittorrent after a few years, used public ones and then moved to private ones after seeing a screenshot of mratio which landed me here. And here I am, writing my short useless story in the best forum ever!

Stuff
Thanks.
Apparently Gapo and ET have nothing to tell us. :unsure:
Well, I was born in a pirate country, so I was aware since I was a little kid that u can get stuff for free on the Inet. And there it goes: the first pirated cd bought form the store, the first downloaded mp3 with 8KB/s off the FTP of my ISP, and there comes BitTorrent, somewhere in the early 2000s with arenabg.com and torrent.linkos.bg (the old name of zamunda). I hated them at the beginning, the whole bittorrent system was too obscure to me, but with the time I started to like it...I still prefer FTPs though :)
Thanks.
Use the thanks button!

A smile isn't a valid response either.

Talking about privileges, do advanced users+ have the ability to hide the edit post message?

You mean the "last edited by caballero, ..." edit note at the bottom?
If so, no.
do advanced users+ have the ability to hide the edit post message?
that's a very important feature because that message dös also indiciate an editing history which is very useful if there is any kind of problem with a member. that gös for all userclasses except two which i can't tell :P
anyway unless you're staff you can't avoid it.

I also remember the good old dial up times. I remember when we had free dial up ISPs (the 0-610 kind which was like a "cheaper" phone rate), I used Starmedia until it just disappeared. Then I used a regular free ISP (Alternativa gratis!) and then switched to another little known, fast free ISP: FreedomNet (sponsored by a national technology TV show which had a somewhat decent hacker). Later I opened a paid 0-610 account with a random credit card number in an ISP that simply forgot to add a verification process for credit cards.
I also remember Napster and Audiogalaxy, EasyWarez...sniff
And probably the best P2P related memory I have was the time that I found some guy in DC++ that had hundreds of weapons' and planes' user manuals...I downloaded my favorite: the SR-71 Blackbird Pilot guide!!
I used Starmedia until it just disappeared.
Gratis1, right? Had it for a short while, also. Even got a T-shirt from them. :wsmile:

LOL Yes I believe that was the user/pass...oh the memories! You just can't imagine the things I did to have internet! :P With the help of a friend we even tried to hack his building's phone lines (that is to cut the cables and plug them to a modem) and then we realized we were just f-ing up with the entrance intercom!! XD
Oh and I had an "extension cord" for the phone so I could connect with my PC at my room...that is if by extension cord you understand "a handful of pieces of cable taped together with scotch tape and a soldered phone jack taken from an old modem". Man we were so fucking poor back then...

Necessity puts wit to work. Apparently, you did well.

desodorante, if you still read this forum...
1. check this out: Cuántos ańos vive una página web? (http://n3ri.com.ar/2012/02/cuantos-anos-vive-una-pagina-web/). I was a member at El Sitio and visited them regularly. That place simply disappeared; I would guess they couldn't stay afloat after 2001, but I have zero idea of what actually happened.
2. do we still have any free dial-up providers? I have a USB 56K modem I want to test... :unsure: Back in the day, even Boca Juniors and Yahoo had their own, and toll-free access (as seen in the following screenshot) was my dream.

I met one of my most memorable ex-GFs while this song was playing in a small bar when I visited South America a few years ago. This song has a special place in my heart now. Good memories.
